Summary

Runyan Elementary in Conroe, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 593 students within the highly-rated Conroe Independent School District (Isd), and it has staged a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 17th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 69th percentile (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. This powerful comeback is especially impressive given that over 80% of its students come from low socio-economic backgrounds, a challenge the school is clearly overcoming.

Runyan stands out most for its exceptional support of specific student groups. Its Gifted & Talented program is elite, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide (5 stars), far surpassing any nearby school. The school also excels with its economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 81st percentile (4 stars). This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Armstrong Elementary and Houston Elementary, which serve even higher poverty populations but rank in the bottom quartile of the state. Runyan is proving that a high-poverty school can achieve strong results, making it a potential model for others in the district.

A fascinating strength is in math instruction for Spanish-speaking students. In 4th-grade Spanish Math, Runyan's proficiency rate of 62.5% was more than double the district and state averages. While the school shows clear strength in math overall, with 4th-grade English Math proficiency exceeding state averages, reading proficiency in both 3rd and 4th grade still lags behind the district average, indicating a key area for continued focus. With per-student spending in the middle of the pack, Runyan is using its resources efficiently to drive these impressive gains.
